12.8 @ 110
With 26 inch drag tires and 4.10s probably lower 12s at 112-114 if you are good at power shifting.

EDIT: I thought it had a LS1, I see in the sig it has a LS3, I have no point of reference for that engine.

ls7 clutch is goin to kill it. My moto is run 11's with bolt-ons BEFORE you cam it. You will learn better that way. Of course you already cammed it......so guppy probably has it right.

FYI...last bolt-on car I helped with went 11.9 @116.xx.......on exhaust manifolds.

Thanks guys. I updated with the approximated horsepower, not sure if that changes anything.

I would be happy with mid-high 12s with a street tire

I run around screaming that until I am blue in the face over here and no one listens... I'm actually shocked to see someone else actually has the same mind set as me

My personal opinion is that with that setup even with street tires you should be in the 11's

with a sticky tire you should be high high high 10's at the very least an extreme low 11 assuming you have it setup right and are a good driver and racing in a DA of around 2000 or less...

Even with stock suspension and street tires I think you could do an 11.9. With 475 rwhp , 3600 raceweight, and maybe around 1.9 60ft, you might pull it off

Well the track opens this Friday, however it's supposed to be 27 degrees. But I will keep this thread updated with run times!

Hopefully the 10 bolt doesn't go

LOL. Maybe I should just wait until the weather gets warmer so I don't run a 14 in the freezing cold and get myself down

Nice, I was gonna guess 12.8@118. with 120mph trap speed, a built rear and slicks you'll go mid 11's easy, low 11's if you really get it hooking

Yeah. It was my first time running so I'm still getting down the whole launch thing. Slicks with a built rear should definitely help out a lot. I was babying it off the line last night 2.3xx 60 foots all night
